The aroma, the texture, the flavor—it was simply unforgettable. I knew right then and there that I had to recreate this culinary masterpiece in my own kitchen.
After countless hours of experimentation and meticulous tweaks, I finally nailed it. This Cinnamon-Glazed Braid is a testament to my unwavering determination and a tribute to that unforgettable bread that ignited my passion for baking. Every bite is a symphony of flavors, with the sweet cinnamon glaze perfectly complementing the fluffy, tender bread.

Step-by-step
- Place egg in a measuring cup; add enough water (70°-80°) to measure 1 cup.
- In bread machine pan, place egg mixture, butter, bread flour, sugar, salt and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer.
- Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 13-in. rope.
- Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch seams firmly to seal and tuck ends under.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from pan to a wire rack. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over bread.
